CARLISLE®Thermal Insulation
Our insulation products are intended to boost flat roofs' thermal performance and energy efficiency whilst making them watertight. An energy-efficient building will keep energy costs to a minimum and create a more pleasant and eco-friendly building atmosphere. Our EPDM, TPO, green roof, and liquid waterproofing systems all include thermal insulation as part of the system build-up. Our range of insulation products can be used for all kinds of flat roofs including a warm roof, cold roof or an inverted roof.
Types of Thermal Insulation
CARLISLE® is the market-leading manufacturer of roofing systems. Our roofing system includes RESITRIX® and HERTALAN® EPDM single-ply roofing membranes, ARBOFLEX®PU cold applied liquid waterproofing and SURE-WELD®TPO. As part of our system, we provide a range of thermal insulation to suit every flat roof design from large industrial roofs to complex roofs with details and any kind of green roofs and blue roofs. From PIR boards, Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) and tapered schemes, our insulation range is compatible with all of our roofing systems. You can explore the right solution here or get Technical Advice.
CARLISLE® Thermal Insulation-T is a high-performance tissue-faced insulation board that has been specifically designed for use with our EPDM and TPO waterproofing membranes including RESITRIX® and HERTALAN®, and SURE-WELD®TPO in both new build and refurbishment applications.
Our PIR insulation board benefits from high compressive strength and excellent dimensional stability, ensuring the flat surface finish required to achieve optimum performance. In addition, these boards are suitable for use with a wide range of adhesives, primers and mech-fix systems.
The CARLISLE® Thermal Insulation-F is a top-quality insulation board with a foil-facing designed for use with RESITRIX® and HERTALAN® single-ply EPDM membranes. It can be used in both new build and renovation projects. This PIR foam board is highly efficient and perfect for use in warm flat roofs that require a single layer membrane roofing system that is mechanically fixed. The board has remarkable dimensional stability and can withstand high compressive strength of over 150kpa at yield. Additionally, it is ideal for pedestrian traffic associated with roofing system maintenance.
CARLISLE® Inverted Roof Insulation is a unique innovative closed cell expanded polystyrene (EPS) with low water absorption properties. The insulation boards are loose-laid over waterproofing layer including RESITRIX®/HERTALAN®, ARBOFLEX® and SURE-WELD®TPO and there is no requirement to adhere or mechanically fix the boards. Typically ballast and/or paving slabs are used to secure the insulation to the deck. Our inverted roof insulation is manufactured following BS EN ISO 13163 under a quality assurance system approved to BS EN ISO 9001 and environmental management system to ISO 14001. CARLISLE® Inverted Roof Insulation is a 100% recycled product. Lightweight and easy to install, they are available in single sheets between 50mm to 250mm thickness.
There are 3 types of compression strength available from 200kpa, 300kpa and 500kpa – this allows us to value engineer solutions based on loading requirements. All our boards are ETAG031 compliant.
CARLISLE® tapered insulation is a widely used option that replaces traditional methods like screed-to-falls and timber firing pieces. It is highly customisable to meet the needs of even the most complex projects, and it significantly reduces installation time when compared to other industry methods. Our tapered insulation not only solves the problem of surface water drainage but it can also be tailored to meet the building's thermal performance requirements. Our Technical Team is available to assist you with specifying tapered insulation for substrate build-up, upstand limitations, and drainage methods. Each roofing system is unique and requires a custom tapered insulation design (scheme of falls) that we create specifically for your project. The approved design is then used to guide contractors through the installation process on-site.
